Look Fantastic Beauty Box August 2017 FULL SPOILERS!

Last year LF boxes were fab, and I was highly recommending. Don’t read fashion mags and recycle the mini Elle, but for many it’s a great addition. As far as curation, products were primarily from Europe, mainly the UK, with a few prestige US brands here and there, which is why I joined, to try something different. My box ships out of Spain, which must be an intl hub, translation – cost effective.

Imho, the boxes have been rapidly declining in value and desirability. They’ve been including European ‘drugstore’ brands rather than prestige products, which The Hut.com, an e-commerce unicorn biz touts.

Emailed them months ago when they sent out a trial size Black benefit brow pencil, asking why they don’t have a basic preference form for hair and skin. CS didn’t really care. This month it’s a potentially skin tearing Brunette brow pencil, which their helpful booklet tries to ‘sell’ as universal. Will probably give them a couple of months to improve before cancelling. However, with their buying power there’s no reason to include such cheap products.

L.M.A.O.R.O.T.F……TOO FUNNIE! 🤔

The magazine has such tiny font I can barely read it. It really makes me pick and choose which articles are worth going blind for. I can see regular magazine type just fine.

Worth over 50$? Are you kidding me? The shampoo and the conditioner are in every drugstore -7$ full size, so the samples are around 1$.!! The skin79 is in jolse 11$ – again full size and free worldwide shipping. The korres sample is 4$, the lip balm is 6$. So, the eyeborw and the cleanser are over 30$?? This is the most dissapointed box ever!

I’m mad I’m locked in for 6 months. I am waiting for it to be up. I have not found anything useful from any of their boxes

I could have sworn i saw in the June review that there will be a MAC box, did I miss it or something. Want to tell my MACjunkie friend to subscribe to this for that. Anybody know anything?

All the products other than the shampoo and conditioner (glad they include both) are new to me. Even when a LF box looks boring I am always excited when it arrives. I have been subscribed a year now and am happy to keep it for another. My favorite box under $20. I have never tried the Mane and Tail products but I remember their popularity when introduced. I had a horse at that time and I had friends using the horse products on their hair for incredible shine. I have noticed other boxes are including it also. Mane and Tail seems to be on the comeback trail. If it’s been around for so many years it must be good even though you can get it a drugstore. Just because an item can be purchased at a drug store doesn’t make it bad. For example: L’Oréal which is a product of Lancome corporation and then Olay and their line of products in red. They are not cheap to buy even though they are at a drugstore. So give it a try, swap it out, or donate to a shelter. One item out of six that can’t or won’t be used is still a good deal. Especially since Look Fantastic has nice sized samples for the most part.

STILL waiting for a reason to sub for! 😕

I guess I’m going to be one of the few who are excited for this box. Even if you don’t like the shampoo and conditioner, the other 5 items are incredible and more than make up the worth on this subscription. This is still my favorite monthly box.

Since this is a U.K. Based box, maybe Mane n Tail is not easily available there? That is the only reason I can think of why it is included!

So I followed the link for the “Mane and Tail” and like one of the first reviews has a picture of a horse . . .

Lol, Mane n Tail.

I like the variety of products!

Easy pass for me. Glad they spoiled the full contents.

Mane & Tail is the last thing I expect in a LF box.

I’m SO angry that cheap-ass, drugstore Mane & Tail is in this box. If this were a $5-$10 Walmart or Target box, they could justify it, but this is not a cheap subscription. Those products cost next to nothing, they basically have the same ingredients as dish/laundry soap, and they’ve been around for like 40 years, at least. Who wants that? Nobody with any sense of style, who actually cares about the quality of their haircare, or is interested in new, healthy beauty items, which is kind of the point of these boxes — to be able to try current and new beauty items. This is a huge disappointment almost worth canceling over.

I love everything except the mane & tail but they are easy to swap. LF is my fav sub box!
